A Big Contributor to Rising Follows & Engagement
We are very pleased and blown away with the difference that GaggleAMP has made for our increase in LinkedIn followers and overall engagement rate! We would have missed out on so much had we not tapped into the networks of the very people that work within our organizations.
PROSIt serves as a great hotline for our employees to know about the latest and greatest content at our company. And encourages them to share what they otherwise may have looked past before.
CONSI wish there was a little more room for custom activities (offline tasks) as well as manual point adjustment to award for said offline activities/rewards, such as in-person events and special gifts for birthdays and such.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for the insight and review! I couldn't have summed up the benefits of employee advocacy any better myself - we're thrilled to hear about your engagement increase! We appreciate you and your feedback and will be sure to pass along the idea of offline point adjustments for events or celebrations. Keep up the great work! - Michelle

Exceeding Expectations
Our audience reach is outstanding. It is fun to tell our headquarters that we use a simple program that expands further than all our corporate social media accounts combined. It is also great to hear other colleagues from different parts of the world raving about certain individuals who are constantly posting on accounts such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Little do they know that those users are taking 30 seconds per week to schedule those posts. Our users look like heroes in the eyes of our customers.
PROSGaggleAMP is easy to use, grabs the attention of customers and consumers we could never reach even through paid advertisements, and makes our users stand out above the competition. All the statistics are easy to access and there are so many options from which to choose. After searching around for competitors of the program we realized even if there was one, it would not compare to that of GaggleAMP. The team at GaggleAMP is always willing to assist and reach out to help expand our platform. GaggleAMP and its team is truly unique and outstanding.
CONSThe most difficult part of GaggleAMP is explaining the program in an elevator speech. It's difficult to make a sales pitch on it in 20-30 seconds. If I want to grab my colleagues' attentions and get them on board with using the program, then I must give visual representation of the program and truly explain the process. Another "con" is the lack of app for administrators. Because our sales teams are divided by regions and countires, I like to make groups for my GaggleAMP users. This allows the posts to be different and not look like everybody shares the exact same thing. Unfortunately, there is no app for the admin and if I am using my phone, it's difficult to create all 4 posts, with images and links, and share or schedule it on GaggleAMP because I have to use the desktop mode. At first, we believed the price was too high, but for what we receive, it is well worth it!
Vendor Response
Fabulous feedback, Amelia - thank you for that! We're biased of course but we love hearing how users are being positioned as heros to senior leadership. It's often an overlooked byproduct of a successful employee advocacy program and I'm really happy to hear your users are being recognized at the top for their contributions. I've passed along your feedback to our product team regarding the app and your use case, and we're happy to hear your getting a great bank for your buck. Keep up the great work and as always, please let your customer success manager know if there is anything we can do to continue to help grow your program. - Michelle

Evan Review
The Auto-Amp feature makes it very easy to amplify our corporate messaging
CONSDon't like how we can't get an 'activity' report by member. That's the question I receive the most. As a whole, I wish the reporting dashboard was cleaner w/ more visuals. Also, when manually adding an activity, there are lots of similar options ('Photo' 'Share' 'Retweet' etc.) so it's not clear which option is which. Would recommend cleaning up the dozens of posting options there are.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback, Evan. I can understand the frustration over which option is which, especially when there are more than 50 actions you can take on our network. Two things that may help - there is presently a hover over that exists on each activity describing what it does, which can be really helpful for the actions that are similar. Also, I passed your comment on to your customer success manager to show you a feature I think you will like in the upcoming update. It's a 'favorites' feature so that you can elevate the key activities you commonly use. I find it to be helpful when some options are not relevant to my strategy or I use certain actions often. Thanks again for your feedback! - Michelle

A Solid Social Media Tool with Superior Customer Support
Overall my experience working with the GaggleAMP team has been great!
PROSLots of pros. GaggleAMP is a go-to social media tool for companies looking to boost employee and channel engagement. The tool itself is fairly easy to use and manage, and there are many different Activity Sharing options available. GaggleAMP offers tag-based reporting, which is super helpful when running campaigns or social engagement contests. Customer and Account Support are superior - very responsive and willing to help when any issues arise. They have a great team!
CONSNot many cons. However, when dealing with software, and software updates and changes for that matter, there are bound to be a few minor issues that pop up. My only qualm with the Gaggle is the interface could stand to be made more intuitive in certain areas. Customizable (and croppable) images in the Manager's View would be a good improvement, and it would be cool to be able to see what the actual post would look like before sharing with your employees. Also, the amount of time it takes for a submitted activity to hit peoples' inboxes can vary at times (from a few minutes to a couple hours sometimes).
Vendor Response
Hi Caleb! Great feedback and thank you for your review. I have passed along some of your thoughts about the software to our product team to make them aware of some featured you'd like to see. I am glad to hear that the Gaggle makes is easier to support your campaign and social engagement initiatives. Thanks for the support, we're happy to have you here with us! - Michelle

A great solution to amplify content
Overall a great experience, our sales rep was great to work with - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - he set us up with a trial and really helped us make it successful so we could prove the value to our executive team. I've worked with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] when I used the product at a previous company, he is very knowledgeable about the product, and consultative in his sales approach, which is so appreciated. Using the product overall is great. We are being more cautious about marketing spend amid COVID, so this tool has really helped us amplify the content and research our team is producing at a low cost when compared to things like paid ads, PPC, etc.
PROS- Helps us leverage employee networks to amplify our content / research. With the social landscape being so crowded in B2B tech space, this is incredibly important to expand our reach. - Reporting and ability to see the ROI on impressions / CPC at a glance is really helpful. This is great to share with execs who want to make sure technology is being used and paying for itself. - It is really easy to use, very intuitive, almost no training needed for admins or users - LOVE the Slack integration. Makes it so much easier to stay on top of challenges. - Leaderboard helps incentivize our competitive team... the ability to layer on actual prize incentives is great, something we will do overtime. Right now we are just using for bragging rights and it already works.
CONS- With social network APIs getting tighter on what you can do through integrations ... there are some limitations, i.e. you have to actually go to FB to like / share content, for LinkedIn, users actually have to type in their own post when sharing, which is good in that we have more authenticity in posts, but does make it a little more challenging to get our employees to share content.
Vendor Response
Alyssa, Thank you for your candid feedback - I sincerely appreciate it. Yes, API's are getting more and more constrained, but I am very happy to hear you guys have seen success. I think your story is one that we're hearing more and more often - folks paying close attention to marketing spend due to COVID-19 but getting strong results from internal advocates. Thank you again for all you do, and if you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to reach out! - Michelle

Making it easy for participants
Because participation levels among employees was the most important aspect of this program, I selected GaggleAMP. It is just so simple to use. Sales reps are only "distracted" for a minute or two each day, but are posting important and well-read content as a result.
PROSI thoroughly compared six different platforms and selected GaggleAMP because it was the most simple to use for employees. Compliance/participation levels tend to drop off in these programs after the novelty has worn off. So I selected the platform that allows users to post with just one simple click. Users who want to edit the text to make it sound like their "voice" they still can do it quite easily. It's the best of both worlds!
CONSThe administrative side of the software had fewer features than some of the other platforms we reviewed. The layout seemed less intuitive and a bit more "dated".
Reason for choosing GaggleAMP
Priced competitively and the easiest to use (on the user side)
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review David! We hear you on the 'bit dated' element - it's something we're refreshing as we speak. You should hear more about it from your Customer Success Manager in the coming weeks. I'm glad to hear you consider us the best of both worlds. We try to make it easier for Gaggle Members to contribute with the sharing of company content but in their own voice. I'm glad you and your team feel we're making participation in a program easy. All the best! - Michelle

Get results quickly
I have brought Gaggle Amp into two separate organizations I have worked for and it has worked flawlessly both times. We have seen exponential growth on our social media platforms and increased engagement from our team members. This has led to wider market exposure and improved website traffic from social media.
PROSThe software is very easy for end users to engage with. They can go to the platform directly to customize their postings and overall experience or they can post directly from daily emails they receive in their inbox. Posts are continuously put in front of them so they don't have to take extra time out to think through posting, they just have to select the ones they want to promote.
CONSThe analytics are good, but only go so deep. Depending on how much you want to drill down into activity that may not even be an issue.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your thoughts and review Michael! We pride ourselves on making the Gaggle Member experience as simple as possible to complete tasks without deviating from their day-to-day activities. It sounds like we're hitting the mark there for you and your team! Thanks for being an advocate and champion of GaggleAMP. Your referral to two separate companies is the greatest form of flattery. Keep up the great work and if you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out! - Michelle

A Great Solution For B2B Company
Overall, GaggleAMP has been a very productive and valuable resource for the digital marketing team.
PROSGaggleAMP makes it very easy for a large group of employees to share company social media posts to their own personal pages. Instead of hitting the "share button" on the social platforms themselves, GaggleAMP allows for members take the official company content and publish the post as their own post. This can all be done in 1 click. This helps bridge the gap as a B2B company putting a friendly face to the content instead of a company page logo.
CONSThere are not enough customizable options when it comes to distributing content. Ideally as admin, I would like to be able to tag content using automated rules, then push this content to certain employee groups. This way, employees in our education department only see education content. The backend tracking settings/Google Analytics integration does not have nearly enough features for it to be useful.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for your feedback, Matt, and we're glad to hear your teammates are loving the 1-click share! I shared your request for customizable options to help tag and distribute content to the right employee groups in the right voice. Your customer success representative should be discussing this with you on your next call. We've been in Beta with a new feature that will allow for this to be set up easier and are curious to see if it will fit your needs. Keep up the great work over there! - Michelle

Gaggle review
The ease in which our Gaggle members can share posts. I also appreciate the support of our account team. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has always been available to answer questions or provide training to new users/admin.
CONSI find it difficult to customize the message shared by the administrator. We would prefer that our users personalize the message in some way and I don't think it's as intuitive to do so.
Vendor Response
Hi Kristin! Thanks for your review and your feedback. We love hearing that the account team is helpful with their training and feedback. I've shared your feedback with the team regarding personalization of messages so this may come up in your next product review.

Has improved our employee and customer engagement greatly
Quickly being able to share social posts on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook has made it so that our employees are so much more likely to spread the word about our company. It also allows employees to maintain company standards and expectations.
PROSIt is so simple for employees to share messages on social media, Twitter sharing can even be automated. This allows us to quickly get out different articles, news updates, and press releases and reach a broader audience. Employees can also share what they feel is important to them, and not feel obligated to share what they don't want to. You can schedule out posts on your social media or simply click to share. Our employee engagement has improved greatly!
CONSI wish you could automate more than just Twitter posts. It'd be nice to automate Facebook, Instagram, and more.

Great way to engage workforce
Love how easy this product is to use and how much marketing budget we've been able to save through social amplification and employee advocacy.
CONSSome things are inherently easy to find - I also wish there was an easy way to be told what may be a good way to integrate growth of advocacy.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review, Rachel! Saving marketing budget is always a big win, isn't it? I dropped your note to your customer success manager who can help you with ideas for continued growth of your advocacy program. And, if you haven't checked it out yet, we do a half-day training called AMPlify Virtual. It covers everything from program implementation to growth formations and long-term strategic alignment with company programs. Check it out - https://www.gaggleamp.com/attendamplify. If you are interested in attending, let your customer success manager know - I've given them a few discount codes. Keep up the great work with your program! - Michelle

Great Product for Increased Visibility
In this modern age of social media, this has helped to expand our brand reach.
PROSThis platform makes it easy to increase the social media reach of our brand and products through easy access to corporate sharing of posts. While there is a learning curve for both users and administrators, once you overcome this learning curve, sharing a post is as easy as a few clicks. I like the scheduling option as well, so that you are not overwhelming your connections.
CONSFrom a corporate standpoint, if you are all sharing the same or similar posts, it can be overwhelming for those that are connections with multiple people in your company. Also on a platform like LinkedIn, your likes are also shared with your connections, so if you share and like the same post someone else in your company shared, it can get pretty repetitive.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the response, Jami! You bring up an excellent point - it can look repetitive if everyone is liking or sharing the same posts. It could be helpful to segment which groups like and share those posts so that common networks don't get overwhelmed. I passed that along to your Customer Success Representative to discuss in your next strategy meeting. I'm really happy to hear employee advocacy is increasing your social media reach and its as easy as a few clicks. Thanks for all you do and we're thrilled to have you and the team in the GaggleAMP family! - Michelle

Set it and forget it
Company and customer service is great to work with. They are quick to get on the phone to help troubleshoot.
PROSMy favorite feature is Auto AMP. Connect it to your company profiles and the posts automatically get "amped" to your social advocacy group. Extremely easy to use.
CONSThere are a few features that are a bit more confusing to use. But, as we mature, I plan on flexing those features.
Reason for choosing GaggleAMP
Saw presentation and spoke with customer service. It just felt more hands-on.

GaggleAMP for the win!
Overall, GaggleAMP has been extremely easy to use and based on the numbers shared by our marketing team helped extend our social media reach exponentially.
PROSEase of use is hands down the best feature of GaggleAMP. It is both easy to recommend articles for the admins to share as it is to share them on social media platforms. It's also fun to track your points versus your colleagues.
CONSAs far as functionality I really don't have any complaints. Perhaps a function to limit how many people can reshare a certain post as we have had customers occasionally complain about 'oversharing' and 'overwhelming' LinkedIn feeds.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review, Heidi! We're glad to hear you and the team love the gamification aspect of the platform. A little friendly competition always makes things fun!
